Whether you want to start your own business, or just gain valuable skills to boost your CV, there’s never been a better time to get involved!

Many of the most successful people in business today started out as teenage entrepreneurs.

Jamal Edwards was a teenager when he decided to launch youth broadcasting and production film SB.TV, Fraser Doherty was 14 when he started SuperJam. Richard Branson was 16 years old when he had his first business success.

If you are still studying in a school in Wales we have a number of sources of help and opportunities for you to get involved with. You may not be in a position to start right away, but read on to find out what’s going on and how you could develop your skills, knowledge, experience and confidence in business (and your business ideas!).
